III. NATIONAL ACTIVITIES UNITED STATES 17.3.3.2 California Zinc Extraction Project CalEnergy Operating Corporation, the largest geothermal energy company in the Imperial Valley scaled back its zinc extraction operation, a $400 million venture to produce zinc from the same geothermal liquid that produces energy. CalEnergy said the zinc operation never reached its commercial target of producing 70 metric tons per day. The goal of the zinc extraction operation was to find a new commercial use for the minerals found within the geothermal liquid, the natural resource used to produce energy. The effort will continue and the company is talking with other companies that could form a partnership with CalEnergy to make the zinc operation a commercial success. Salton Sea Power Agreement IID Energy recently signed agreements to buy power from a proposed geothermal plant at the Salton Sea for as many as 30 years. The agreements extend IID’s existing deals with CalEnergy. Under the deals, the utility, which serves about 120,000 customers in the Imperial and Coachella valleys, will buy up to 365 megawatts of power from the proposed geothermal plant by 2011. The new plant could be complete by 2007. CalEnergy already operates 10 geothermal plants around the southern end of the Salton Sea. The new plant is expected to be the largest of its kind in the nation and will contribute to IID’s plan to derive 20 percent of its energy from renewable resources. Fourmile Hill Geothermal Project In March 2004, the Fourmile Hill geothermal project at Medicine Lake was given the go ahead by the United States District Court in Sacramento. The Calpine Corporation plans to build two 49 megawatt geothermal electrical generating plants near Medicine Lake. Medicine Lake is located 30 miles east of Mount Shasta and 10 miles south of Lava Beds National Monument. However, in May, Calpine announced it would cease major work at the Medicine Lake geothermal electrical generation facilities until 2005 in the face of continuing law suits. Mammoth Pacific Award In April 2004, Ormat Nevada announced that its Mammoth Pacific, LP geothermal facilities were selected to receive an award from the California Department of Conservation. This is the fourth consecutive year the facility has received this award for its outstanding record of environmental protection, resource management, and safety. Located in Mono County, California, Mammoth Pacific, LP generates up to 40 MWe of renewable, environmentally sound electricity sufficient for the needs of some 30 000 homes. 17.3.3.3 Idaho Raft River Geothermal Project U.S. Geothermal plans to build a binary-cycle power plant at Raft River, employing the same technology that was first demonstrated there by DOE over 20 years ago. The Raft River geothermal site is the former location of a DOE demonstration plant for binary-cycle power technology and includes four production wells that were drilled in the late 1970s. The company also leased a fifth production well on an adjacent property. Funded largely by DOE, flow tests to help determine the potential energy production from the geothermal wells were completed in October 2004. The company is negotiating a contract with Idaho Power Company to supply 10 megawatts of geothermal power for 20 years, and is working with the Bonneville Power Administration on the plant's connection to the power grid.
